Photographer's Note

This is the tenth and last entry of my recent series "B&W Oldies" ! This is a watermill in the middle of a vegetable field. It was driven by one or two horser, who turned and turned around the center and moved a huge wheel which than transported the water in tins to the surface.
The eyes of the horses was been covered in order to avoid that they didn't collaps after a few turns !
This capture can not be made anymore as the water is been pulled from wells bu means of electrical pumps !

Hi Mesut,
The eye is drawn to the scene very much, as its an intriguing display! I could not work out what this was, but your note explains that we are unlikely to see this kind of object anymore. It looks excellent under black and white, as the shadows and lines are brought out to perfection.
All the best

An interesting addition to this superb b&w series of days gone by. Certainly more aesthetically pleasing than electrical pumps! Good sharpness and tonal range. Excellent density and graphic elements. Have a great weekend!

An interesting photo and note. I understand what you describe in your note, but I have difficulties to see it in your photo. I would imagine that already in 1970 it was a long time ago since the watermill was in use.

Modern times pumps replaced the old watermills, and left this wooden built structure to be abandoned, Mesut.
Pitty it was not preserved, to be shown today how it operated.
Fine sharp details, B&W texture enhanced elements on.
Nicely posted series.
Enjoy a nice weekend,
Ike
